Ash

It’s been a while since I finished an L.P (ten + years if anyone’s counting) so I don’t wanna jinx it, but now is an especially fitting time to inform you i’ll be releasing my latest effort at the end of the month which am pretty excited about!

The majority of these tracks were hastily written during a particularly bad spell of mental health (in early 2015), I was struggling with crippling paranoia, intrusive thoughts, OCD, manic depression and a myriad of other horrible mind-fucks at the time.
The music doesn’t necessarily have answers, tips or reveal any secrets on how to deal with these problems, nevertheless it is my hope that the sincere reflection of that core aspect of the human condition: resilience in the face of apparent futility, that it will inspire others to not be so afraid of their own darkness and hopefully feel less isolated/forsaken and even open up a dialogue on these commonly unaddressed issues if you so wish.

The title is supposed to represent the idea of spiritual immolation: via heartfelt and earnest self inquiry one is able to unclothe and burn away/transmute all the negative social conditioning/karma/ego/heavy & dark energy one subconsciously embodies when adorning these temporary vessels.
